But measures being implemented and considered are not the same as results. There are people who prepare for an alien invasion, but that doesn't mean one is actually imminent. Medicos must always prepare for the worst case scenarios and they are no less susceptible to fear mongering than anyone else. I'll be surprised if we end up needing half the stuff currently being demanded.

If UK death toll is kept below 20,000, "we will have done very well" - NHS England medical director Prof Stephen Powis.

The comment came as Business Secretary Alok Sharma gave the UK government's daily coronavirus briefing.

Across the UK, 1,019 people have now died.

But maybe I am wrong and Russian are just tougher than this virus. BTW, Vodka is not sufficient for desinfecting from Corona virus, its alcohol is not high enough. You need 65 or 70% minimum, the Vodka on the shelves here in Germany usually has around 37.5 to 49.5%, some of these brands being direct imports.

As far as I am aware from internal sources the numbers are decent if imperfect due to limited testing. But I guess you think otherwise.

As to the scenario - we are introducing quarantine measures and are preparing for large scale epidemic. Today was Russia entering rapid spread phase, with +20 percent growth. Fortunately we have some experience from Italians.

We (as in household) use either medical ethanol or bleach for cleaning.

What is your input on this ?

Are we facing a second wave very soon, long before autumn, where expert expected it would come (as I understand it)

A spate of mysterious second-time infections is calling into question the accuracy of COVID-19 diagnostic tools even as China prepares to lift quarantine measures to allow residents to leave the epicenter of its outbreak next month. It's also raising concerns of a possible second wave of cases.

Could we ask what you do at these hospitals. Course you don't have to answer but just curious and wishing you well at your job. Stay safe.

If that is meant for me?
I'm not intending to be smug!
I'm going into week 4 of isolation but it's actually my job and life style to be isolated!

"Brazil's President Jair Bolsonaro on Friday cast doubt on Sao Paulo's death toll from the coronavirus outbreak and accused the state governor of manipulating the numbers for political ends, without giving evidence for his claims"

Have they ever done genetic analysis of Bolsonaro's and Trump's genes? They may find that they share some relatives.
